taxes and assessments must be levied upon
estimates and in advance of the use of the
money for the purpose of which it is raised.
These estimates, because of the fallibility
OF human Judgment or of changes in cost
of labor and material. are almost certain to
vary somewhat from the actual eXpendi-
lures But if the estimates are honestly
and fairly made there is no ground of COM
plant because OF such probable variation
between estimates and actual cost. And
the charter provisions are just and ample
to protect against any injustice. In this
particular case the objection is purely theo-
retical, as it is admitted that the kind of
sidewalk ordered by the city council would
cost just the amount OF the special assess
ment. $143.51. And the admitted fact
that the city authorities would have been
satisfied had the lot owner himself put
down two-inch concrete sidewalk
at cost of S74 seems Irrelevant
showing nothing but laxity Oh the
part of the city authorities. = The de-
tendant claims that as his property may be
sold for the collection of this assessment
which was levied without giving him an
opportunity to be heard, it amounts to TAX
ing his property without due process of
law, and therefore contravenes art. l. sec.
Z, of the constitution of this state, and art.
xiv. of the amendment to the constitution
of the United States. The question of
what constitutes due process of law, though
much discussed i'll judicial decisions. re-
mains but loosely defined. i Now,
these special assessments, with the other
city taxes. are certified to by the county
auditor and entered with all other taxes.
The provisions of chapter II of the general
statutes control respecting their payment
and collection. Under those provisions the
owners property can only be taken by sale
pursuant to Judgment of this court upon
notice and opportunity to the owner to ap-
pear and by answer set forth his defense or
objection TO the tax, and Judgment is to
given on the merits. disregarding forms and
technicalities. The defendant has, there
fore his day in court, and opportunity to
be heard in every matter of defense or OBJ
lection against this assessment, and is now
in court on the day" provided, not being
as yet deprived of his property. This pro-
vision of the city charter has remained sub
stantially as at present since 1873, and has
been copied into charters Of other cities of
this state All special assessments have
since been made in the manner indicated,
and this objection is now for the first time
raised"

necessity of having bonds for each piece of
work done and having outstanding large
quantity of short time bonds bearing high
rate of interest and not possessing the same
commercial value that long time Minneapo-
lis city bonds would.
The committee has also decided to ask for
the creation of board of public works to
take charge of all city Improvements and
expenditures. the board to consist of two
Democrats and two Republicans. to be
named in the bill their successors to be
elected on the expiration of two years. This
board is to take charge of street improve
ments, instead of general street commits
siOner, as recommended by the board of
trade. The committee was unable to agree
as to the police commission, although the
Republicans were unanimously in favor of
it. The plan most favored was to have the
commission consist of two Democrats. two
Republicans, with the mayor as member
eX officio, the term of Office of one Demo-
crat and one Republican to expire each
year. The commission is to be elective. but
the first commission to be named in the
bill.
Another important suggestion is to in
crease the general fund from 5 mills to 6
mills and to cut down the permanent im-
provement fund to mills.
1t was decided that the city elections
shall be changed from spring to fall and
shall be held at the same time as the county
elections. The committee is opposed to the
bill increasing the salary of aldermen from
$500 to 81, 200. No agreement has been az
rived at in regard to redistrcting the city,
but the committee is in favor of extending
the city limits in almost every direction.
1t was agreed to recommend that no de.
partment of the city shall be allowed to ex-
coed in its expenditures the estimate made
prior to the beginning of the year. An
other recommendation is that no alderman
shall receive any gifts likely to influence his
vote upon any measure, or that any mem
Der of the police or fire department shall re-
ceive any rewards or gifts without the per-
mission of the city council. There are
numerous other recommendations, but the
foregoing are the most imDOrtant

THE WATER COMMISSIONERS.
An Unimportant Meeting of the
board Last Night.

AaSb
At the meeting of the water board last
evening communication was received
from Lena Gilbridge, 1923 Third street
south, stating that by the breaking of a
water pipe she had been damaged to the
extent Of S21S.73, and asking that the city
pay her that amount. The matter was re-
ferred to the city attorney. The contract
made with K. D. Wood, of Philadelphia,
for furnishing hydrants and valves was
presented and approved and the proper
officers authorized to execute it. The con-
tract made with the North Star Iron works
for the furnishing of special castings for
water pipes was referred back to the COM
mittee on extension for correction in one or
two minor particulars. Richard Dunning-
ton, W. II. Eustis and Wesley Neil had in
applications for rebate Oh water
taxes. These applications were re-
ferred to the committee on claims.
The committee on extensions re-
ported that they had examined the petition
of George K. Lyman, asking for a water
pine connection at his place ON Sixth street
south, and recommended that the same be
not allowed. The engineer was authorized
to have certain pipes at the pumping sta
ton, now exposed to the cold. covered. The
board then went into executive session. q
The board while in executive session con-
sidered bid from DENIM, Long q Co., of
Louisville, 10 furnish the city 70 600 tons
Of water pipe Of various kinds at S34. SO
per ton, delivered on board cars This was
promptly accepted, and the above named
firm will furnish what pipe is laid here
next season. This bid of $34 so per ton is
a come-down of S1.70 per ton from the bid
made last week, when so much was said
about the iron men of the country having
formed a combination, and the members OF
the board are congratulating themselves
accordingly. This is clear saving of over

RADICAL CHANGES
Suggested by the Council Committee

Ga Legislation.
The council committee on legislation
after a series of meetings, has about come
to conclusion as to what the Hennepin
delegation shall be asked to obtain from the
legislature for the city of Minneapolis. A
final meeting was held yesterday afternoon
at the office of Aid. E NJ. Johnson. After
the various suggestions have been passed
upon at the meeting of the coun-
ell tonight the information will be
impaired to the representatives at con-
ference TO be held Saturday afternoon as to
what will be expected of them.
The most important measure decided
upon is the provision of an installment or

adopted S75, 900 will be paid in this season

years as in this, there will be necessary to

This plan, the city would issue about $780,
